What reading level is English Fiction From the Fifth to the Twentieth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His books were written rapidly, and, like his life, impress one with the sense of an almost strained whirl of activity and excitement. This train- 320 NINETEENTH-CENTUEY FICTION ing, it may at once be confessed, was not conducive to the utmost refinement and delicacy of shading in por- traying emotions and situations, and we should not be surprised, therefore, to find his sentiment exaggerated at times almost into sentimentality, and his humor so broad as to verge often on the farcical. But it ...is equally true that those traits decidedly pleased his day, which still lingered under the sunshine of Romanticism, and that even in our own somewhat calmer era his use of the larger elemental emotions, his intense convic- tions, and his enthusiastic belief in the goodness of mankind are still most effective. He was naturally an actor; he saw the dramatic possibilities in all that he observed; his imagination overwhelmed his judgment; and under the stress of his heated fancy, his views of motives, emotions, and deeds amounted virtually to hallucinations.
